Lady Gaga's New Single "Perfect Illusion" Is Excellent

Lady Gaga's heavily teased "Perfect Illusion"—her first new song in over a year and her fifth album's first single—dropped last night. And, true to its name, it's a high-energy, club-ready track about a relationship mistaken for love. Gaga, who co-wrote the song, told iHeartRadio last month it's just about "modern ecstasy. We found our sweet, simple, ragey way of saying it."

Bonus: American Horror Story posted a teaser with the track to further get the buzz going. Gaga has a leading role this season, though plot details have been kept mostly under the wraps. Make what you will of this:
